I've listened to some of my good friends on the Republican side try to score political points in connection with the Russian move on Crimea. Trying to paint this somehow as Obama's fault. This is a ridiculous contention. Putin marched into Georgia in 2008 under a Republican president who many of my Republican colleagues considered to be strong on foreign policy and now he is doing it with the Democrat in office.
Senator Murphy defends President Obama's foreign policy regarding Russia and criticizes Republicans for blaming Obama for the situation in Crimea.

It's important that these hostages are coming home, and I congratulate the negotiators on getting this done.
It's understandable that there are a lot of Democrats out there who want us to be fighting harder. I mean, Trump is lighting our democracy on fire. And so it's frankly a good sign.
Our only opportunity, our only chance to save our democracy is to fight fire with fire right now. We’re at a war right now to save this country, and so you have to be willing to do whatever is necessary in order to save the country.
Those people are going to be replaced by lunatic right-wing conspiracy theorists
